SUPER EASY Patriotic Wreath

Chasing my 9 month old around the house 24/7 doesn't leave much time for crafting. But, I am able to squeeze in a few easy DIY's here and there. I thought this was WAY TOO EASY and inexpensive NOT to share. While shopping at Hobby Lobby, I noticed the entire "4th of July" section was 30% off. I don't really have any red-white-and blue decorations, so I decided to browse. I came across various strands of patriotic garland. I bought one strand (I believe it was originally $3.99? maybe $2.99? and then, of course, I got 30% off). When I got home, I wrapped it around a small wreath (that I had purchased at the Dollar Store), taped it off, put it on a door hanger, and...voila! Perfect patriotic door decor! It's up now for the 4th of July but will also be great for this years Olympics!!!

You could totally jazz this up even more with a fabulous bow or star!

Hope this inspires you to craft even when you're short on time and finances!
